 Lava bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A lava bomb is a globule of molten rock (tephra) larger than 2.5 inches (64 mm) in diameter, formed when a volcano ejects viscous fragments of lava during an eruption.
Lava bombs can be thrown many kilometres from an erupting vent, and often acquire aerodynamic shapes during their flight.
This type of lava bomb is known as a breadcrust bomb.

 Lava Beds National Monument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roughly ninety percent of the lava in the monument is basaltic.
Lavacicles on the ceiling of a lava tube were left as the level of lava in the tube retreated and the viscous lava on the ceiling dripped as it cooled.
The lava tube collapse systems and lava outcrops support a great diversity of plant life, from an impressive variety of lichens and mosses to plants such as desert sweet (Chamaebatiaria millefolium) and the aromatic desert (purple) sage (Salvia dorrii carnosa).

 Lava tube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tubes form in one of two ways: by the crusting over of lava channels and from Pahoehoe flows where the lava is moving under the surface.
Lava stalactites that hang from the roof are rare in lava tubes.
Lava tubes can also be extremely long; one tube from the Mauna Loa (Hawaii, USA) 1859 flow enters the ocean about 50 km (over thirty miles) from its eruption point, and the Cueva del Viento on Teide (Tenerife, Spain) is 15 km long.

 Eldfell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The evacuation was necessary because lava flows were already moving slowly into the eastern side of town, and the whole of the small island was threatened by the likelihood of heavy ash fall.
The first attempt to slow the lava flow by spraying the leading edge with sea water began on 7 February, and although the volume of water being pumped on was rather small at 100 litres/s, the flow was noticeably affected.
Spectacular lava fountaining occurred along the whole fissure, which reached a maximum length of about 3 km (2 miles) during the first few hours of the eruption, but activity soon became concentrated on one vent, about 0.8 km (0.5 miles) north of the old volcanic cone of Helgafell and just outside the eastern edge of the town.

 Lava lamp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lamp is immobile until the liquid is sufficiently warmed by a (typically 40-watt) lamp.
The lava lamp became an icon of the 1960s, where the constantly changing, brightly-color display has been compared to the psychedelic hallucinations of certain popular recreational drugs.
The lamp consists of an illuminating bulb, and a glass bottle containing a transparent liquid, translucent wax, and a metallic wire coil.

 Volcanoes - everything you need to know
Shield volcanoes, on the other hand, are predominantly lava-based landforms that have gradual slopes and wide bases, because they release fluid lava slowly.
Lava is likely to be extruded in some eruptions, in which case the resulting volcanic structure will comprise alternating layers of tephra and lava.
Sometimes the lava sinks so far that the top of the volcano collapses into the vent, forming a much larger depression known as a caldera, which can be several kilometres in diameter.

Domes may consist of one or more individual lava flows.
Domes often erupt on the top and sides of stratovolcanoes.
Although volcanic domes are built by nonexplosive eruptions of viscous lava, domes can generate deadly pyroclastic flows.

The largest lava shield on Earth, Mauna Loa, is 9,000 m tall (it sits on the sea floor), 120 km in diameter and forms part of the Island of Hawai'i.
A good example of a mafic lava flow is the Great Þjórsárhraun (Thjórsárhraun) flow produced by an eruptive fissure almost in the geographical center of Iceland roughly 8,000 years ago; it flowed all the way to the sea, a distance of 130 kilometers, and covered an area of 800 square km.
Lava flows are widespread and many of its surface features are attributed to exotic forms of volcanism not present on Earth.

 Lava
Pillow lavas are also found near the summit of Mauna Kea These pillow lavas were produced by a subglacial eruption that occurred 10,000 years ago.
Pillow lavas are volumetrically the most abundant type because they are erupted at mid-ocean ridges and because they make up the submarine portion of seamounts and large intraplate volcanoes, like the Hawaii-Emperor seamount chain.
Moore and his coworkers studied lava from the Mauna Ulu eruption They described pillow lavas as elongate, interconnected flow lobes that are elliptical or circular in cross-section (Moore, 1975).
